Hi,
I'm going to Sevilla in July so I was wondering if 2 or 3 days were enough for the city and if you know if are there any tours to "El caminito del rey" in the "Desfiladero de los Gaitanes". I love extreme sports and adventures so I would like to go there.
Thanks,
Juan Fernando
3 full days can be enough IMO, don't know about the crowds in the summer and how long you will spend in the queues for the Cathedral/Giralda, the Alcazar..etc. I was there in November and there were some crowds although it was not top season (the weather was excellent for sightseeing though)

It'll depend on what you want to make/visit in Sevilla. Your travel style could make a difference too. 3 full days could be enough.
if you know if are there any tours to "El caminito del rey" in the "Desfiladero de los Gaitanes".
I think there are companies offering that service but they don't tell it's forbidden to walk the caminito del rey as well as they don't tell you about the fines you could face if you are caught...
I'm here for 2 days. I think that's a bit short. I could easily spend a couple of more days here but it's all about your style. Some people rush around and spend only 30 mins at each site. I take my time. I was in Alcazar pretty much all day. Brought water and snacks with me and a book. Looked around. Sat for a while reading. Repeated. There's no reason to go to Alcazar in the morning. When I first got there it was overrun by tourist groups. By the time I did my last walk through at 3:30 though, it was pretty empty.
I like Sevilla. I could easily spend a couple of weeks here and hang out. Beer is the cheapest I've seen anywhere. 30-40 cents for a cana/bottelin. That crazy isla magica park though is expensive. Even the special temporary price of 95 euro is crazy. I thought Disneyland was expensive. Oh, well. That's off the list.
I'm hoping to travel to Sevilla in Oct/Nov.
Are you planning on traveling anywhere else in Andalucia squid?
I've been to Cordoba and I'm going to Granada today. Cordoba is worth it for the Mezquita. Otherwise, not much. I wasn't much of a fan of it. Maybe a day or even a few hour stopover is enough for me. I like Sevilla though. I could stay here a while.
Andalusia accommodation is both not as nice and more expensive. The first place I stayed was about 33% more than the place I stayed in Toledo and not nearly as nice. Still quite acceptable. The places I stayed in Madrid and Toledo were both surprisingly nice considering the price I paid.
It's really easy. The downside of doing a daytrip is that you'll have to pay to get into the Mezquita. It's only free between 8:30-9:30am. I suppose you could take a really early bus. The bus station is about a 15 min walk away. Talk a strong across the bridge too.
